INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a new TerraBlade.
The purpose of this Operator’s Manual is to comprehensively explain to the operator how to set up, use and
maintain the machine.
It is important that the operator reads this manual carefully to correctly set up, use and maintain the machine
safely. It is essential that the Warnings and Cautions section has been read carefully.
The Claydon TerraBlade will give many years of excellent service with little maintenance due to its robust
construction and its small number of moving parts. However, for optimum machine life, some maintenance
will be necessary.
We reserve the right to make modications to the machine that could make some diagrams and descriptions
in this manual ‘out of date’. While the clarity of the manual should not be affected by this, please bring any
concerns to the attention of Claydon Yield-O-Meter Ltd for us to resolve the problem.
For any further assistance or explanation, please contact Claydon Yield-O-Meter using the contact details on
the front cover.The serial number on the data plate will also need to be quoted.
The Claydon TerraBlade has been designed to eradicate weeds between the rows / bands sown with a
Claydon drill.This is achieved by cutting weeds off at the growing crown just below the surface between the
sown bands in a growing crop. For best results, this is carried out in spring when the crop is rapidly growing.
The benets of the crop having rapid growth and ground cover at this time of year, in both winter and spring
crops, ensures any small weeds germinating are smothered and suppressed by the growing crop. Removing
weed competition helps the crop achieve its maximum yield by having more nutrients and moisture available
and being able to harvest more sunlight ensures the crop reaches its full potential. Removing weeds also
reduces their seed return, particularly important when resistant weeds are more common.
